I need to make some tapes. have ya thought about fitting a new headunit??!! I reckon you could modify a sunglasses holder to accept a standard din unit, and still retain the original factory one if you like that sort of thing!

I'm still thinking about putting mine in the sunglasses holder as at least it will fit in there, unlike the dash location where it sticks out. stupid heater box!

on my old car i heated up the heater box and pushed it back a bit so that i could get the headunit to sit further back it looked much tidier . i also put a backstrap on it in a way that it couldnt be stolen very easily

Um, can you actually get a warrant without a heater? Pretty sure you need one for demisting the windows?

Mine doesn't work either at the mo, and I can't find the problem! There seems to be power at the fan and switch, but it still doesn't go. Job for the auto sparky me thinks.

most likely the resistor in the heater box, or the contacts in the direction lever, both of these can cause a fan no-go.

I've tried a 'new' control switch assembly - made no difference. But...it wasn't an AC one - would that make a difference? ( I got no AC now) Blower motor goes - put 12volts into it just to make sure.
